Whenever money is mentioned feelings and emotions arise. Money has such a charge on it, things such as worry, shame, guilt, lack, exhaustion and despair will often come up when talking about money.

What feelings do you have around money? Every feeling you have, even the positive ones, will lock you in.

We are often more willing to let go of feelings and emotions labelled as negative such as sadness, worry, anxiety, and doubt because these do not serve us as much and are not generally pleasant to be around. It is when we feel content, comfortable and satisfied that we hold onto it because we judge it as we are doing good. We have enough, things and working and if it’s not broken, don’t fix it, right? Not necessarily!

Feelings are a limitation for what we can create and they are designed to keep us in our comfort zone. Feelings are a conclusion and there is never question in them. In order to create money, you always have to be in question.

How often have you not done something because you didn’t feel like it? Or not chosen something because the timing wasn’t right? What if instead, you asked a question?

Your challenge for the next week is every time a feeling around money arises, ask a question! Some questions I like to ask are:

What is this, really?

What else is possible?

What feelings am I using to limit myself here?

What could I change here to make this work for me?

What if you had no feelings around money and functioned from allowance and question? What would your money situation look like then?

People usually look at money and finances like it is a dense and solid subject. In this reality, money does not have a fun, easy-going and free-flowing feel to it. What if your money situation were not solid and heavy but could be light and easy to manoeuvre? How much more relaxed would you and your body be if you started acknowledging that you have more options than you have been willing to look at with all things money?

Here are 3 options you may have that you never acknowledged possible.

Ask questions!

What questions have you not been willing to ask that would give you more flexibility to create your future? No matter what my situation is, I always ask questions. This opens up a sense of space and ease in my situation. I encourage you to always ask: what options do I truly have that I am not seeing?Some additional questions for you are: how does it get better than this? I ask this whether things are going well or not. When I would like a different result, I ask: what would it take for this to change?

Negotiate.

What if you actually just spoke to the person you are paying? It sounds scary — and it sometimes can be — but what if you asked a question? You could offer to go on a payment plan or to pay half this week and extra the next? You never know what will show up and most people will admire that you actually spoke to them and included them. People like to be included.

Add to your life!

If you are always tired you may want to add more to your life. It could be something small like meeting new people or it could be something bigger like getting an additional job. I am going to introduce a crazy concept to you. What if you are not actually tired? What if you are bored? I find that when I don’t have much going on in my life I get bored and things slow down. We have been taught that things are easiest when you have a simple life but what if by having lots of things going on, they all contribute to keeping you interested in doing the others?

These are three of my go-to options. Always look at the situation and ask what will create more. Sometimes it might not be appropriate to negotiate with people. Sometimes it might work to do all of these things. Always be in the question with what will work for you and this situation.

I often say it doesn’t matter who your parents were or how you were raised; wealth is always possible to create. That is because the ability to prosper has nothing to do with how much money you have but, rather, what your relationship is with the money you have.Sadly, the vast majority of us have an unhealthy relationship with money. That’s why 70% of lottery winners lose all their money within five years. That’s why I, the daughter of a billionaire, spent most of my early adulthood living in a panic over how I would survive. And it is why millions of people born into poverty can work incredibly hard and never seem to accumulate more wealth.In my experience, the core reason most people struggle in their relationship with money is because they are disempowered in this area of their life. Many people (particularly women and children) are taught a point of view that it is inappropriate or impossible for them to control their own financial situation. This drains them of all personal power around money and creates a situation where they will never be able to fully create wealth for themselves.

When we’re confronted with the opportunity to spend money spontaneously (hello, David Jones sale) one of two things normally happens:We act without thought and impulsively spend the cash to satiate our emotional yearning or we take the point of view that we deserve the item, telling ourselves that we’re buying it as an act of self-love.And it’s costing us a bomb. Impulse spending has contributed to Australians with an all-time high credit card debt. Recent statistics from Finder.com.au found we’re $32 billion in credit card debt alone – that’s not counting the $100 you owe your mum.So how do we control the impulse spend?According to wealth mentor Curry Glassell, we must value ourselves enough to say ‘no’.“When you fall in love with an item, as we all do from time to time, you need to stop and make a decision that aligns with your best interests.”Following her simple formula will help you fight impulsive urges and become more conscious when it comes to making a call that is right for you (and your bank account).

​When people travel, they generally look for things like: warm weather, nice views and a big shopping mall. When I travel, I do things a bit differently. I go to places that match the energy of what I would like to have, do and be in life. What if you were to get the feel of what you would like to create in your life and found destinations that matched that? For example, I enjoy being around riches and so that is one of the reasons I choose to be in Houston so much of the time. It has a wonderful, generative feel to it and it is a very easy place for me to be. Houston is one of the wealthiest cities in the world, it has a low unemployment rate and it is very entrepreneur centred. This matches the energy of what I would like to create.

​Do you ever find that when you spend time around people you adapt to be more like them? When you spend your time and attention thinking about something, you start bringing more of that in to your life, even if you are not conscious you are doing it. When I am around people and places with as much money as there is in Houston, it inspires me daily to create more.

What would it be like for you to spend more time around money? Would it invite you to familiarize yourself with it and welcome it more? One of the reasons people do not choose to be rich is because it is so unfamiliar, they cannot even imagine what it would be like to have that in their lives. When you become a lot richer than you already are , it is not just your bank account that changes.

Here are some questions for you to ask yourself:

- Where does my time currently go in the day?- If my income doubled, what would I spend my days doing?- If my income tripled, what would I spend my days doing?- If my income increased ten fold, what would I spend my days doing?- If my income increased a hundred fold, what would I spend my days doing?

Were your answers to the first question very different to the last?

You do not have to know down to the very bone exactly what time you would eat breakfast and who you would be talking to. The aim of this exercise is to get you to see how different your life would be if you had much more money than you currently do. That can be very scary for a lot of people. I like to look at it as fun and exciting.

If you are seeking more wealth and riches, why not start by seeing what it looks and feels like to be surrounded by that? On May 25-27 I will be facilitating Right Riches For You in the wonderful Houston. People who have attended Right Riches classes say they get a greater sense of the things that can be possible for them, not only in the realm of money, but every aspect their life that they choose to apply the tools provided in this class.

If this sounds like something you would like to have in your life, consider this your personal invitation to Houston! I would love to see you there. No matter what your story is, what background you come from, how much debt you have - everything is possible to you if you should choose it and do what it takes to create that choice. Hope to see you in class!

For many people trying to create greater wealth, a lottery win would be a dream come true. There is a common point of view that if you are given a large sum of money, you will continue to generate wealth forevermore. However, the sad truth is that 70% of lottery winners lose all their money within five years. Instead of using wealth to create more wealth, most people end up squandering their money and creating poverty.I often say that it doesn’t matter whether you have been raised in prosperity or poverty – with a healthy approach to money, anybody can create wealth. As the lottery statistics show, an abundance of money is not the answer to wealth creation. Instead, I believe, prosperity comes when you have an abundance of:

​If your point of view creates your reality, what are the points of view that got you to where you are? What judgments have you bought from other people that are creating the monetary reality you are currently living in? When you create from judgment, you are limited. You can have option A, B or C. As soon as you begin to create from possibility, you can have anything! If you do not have as much money as you would like to, there is a fair chance that you are judging yourself with money and receiving.​

​There are two currencies in which we receive - money and sex. Are you willing to receive either of them? Out of all of the judgments you have about yourself and money, how many of them belong to you? None? Perhaps one? If you did not create these points of view and you bought them off somebody else, it is not true for you. If you create from something that is not true for you, can you ever create YOUR life? Or just altered copies of other peoples lives?A great question to ask daily is: If I were creating my financial reality, what would I choose? Your life will no longer be created from lies and that which works for other people!

Another reason that people tend to avoid having large sums of money is because they believe they could not handle it. To have a lot of money you have to be present. You must know where your wallet is, who is being hired by you, what your investments are doing, what possibilities are available and so on & so forth. You must be aware so that you can protect yourself from things and people that are trying to steal your money. If you are extremely rich but unaware, you will not be able to sustain your money. This is why people who win the lotto often blow it all within a year and have nothing to show - they are not willing to be aware of it and so it will not stick around. Where have you judged yourself to the point you believe you could not trust yourself with that much money? Again, is this belief actually yours?

Money is one of the thing that everybody has an opinion on - just think of how many thoughts and feelings are floating around planet Earth! Most people grow up hearing that money is evil, it makes people greedy and great things in life cannot be bought. It is not only the negative judgments that lock us in place, though. Positive judgment is still judgment. An example of a positive judgment is: to be successful, you must be rich. There is no question in that, success and riches are two different things.I challenge you, for the next 3 days: every thought, feeling and emotion you have around money and receiving, ask: Is this mine or somebody else's? If it is somebody else's, get rid of it! Then ask: If i were creating my financial reality, what would I choose?

​What do you use money for? Most people think money is to buy things, and it can be, but actually, it is a tool we can use to change things and create greater possibilities in the world. What if generosity with money were one of the ways you could change the world and the lives of other people? Kindness with money is not necessarily giving your money to charities and the homeless, although that is certainly generous.What if the next time you go to buy dinner, instead of thinking how much money you just spent, you looked at is as a gift for the lovely food & the venue & the wonderful wait staff and the payment is a way of showing gratitude? You are not giving away more money than you originally were, but the energy of it is so much more grateful and generous. Would that create greater possibilities in the world?

​So first off - what is generosity?Money is a tool we are given to change peoples realities and make bodies comfortable. Generosity is the willingness to do this. It is being willing to take the action that will create more ease, kindness and caring on the planet. Generosity is not throwing away all of your money at the first chance and it does not mean you have to gift everybody anything they would like. That is not being kind to you, and generosity includes kindness to YOU. When you are being the energy of generosity, you are a source of all energies from the Universe to flow through you and nobody is taking from you. Could an infinite being ever own anything?

Gifting & receiving VS giving & takingLet's go over the difference between these. Give and take is from obligation and conclusion. It is basically tit-for-tat. It is when you say: I did this for you so you should give me this. There is no kindness and playfulness in it. If you choose to function here and give to people, people will take from you.Gifting and receiving is from choice and expansion. You do not expect anything back and you can receive and you don't feel forced to do anything in return - it is just a choice. This is where the real expansiveness of generosity of spirit comes into play - it is fun and you never know what will show up! When you are willing to have the energy of generosity in your life, the Universe will surround you with it and it will come back to you.

QuestionsWhen you are choosing whether you would like to gift something you can ask questions to see what kind of contribution it will be. Some great questions to ask are:

If I do this, what will it create?

What will the world be like in 5 years if I choose this?

Will this be fun?

Gary often tells a story about tipping a waitress $6 for meal that cost the same. It absolutely changed her entire world. You don't need to give someone thousands of dollars to be a contribution to their life, it is the act of being generous and caring that changes peoples realities - not the amount of money.

'The value of money is to change this reality, change peoples realities and create a better world.' How many ways can you be generous with money today? Whether it is for you, somebody else or the planet. What if being generous can invite more wealth and money into your life? You have the ability to change the world, and money can help you do that even more dynamically. What can you do today with your money to create the world you would like to live in?

​Money is something that has a huge amount of significance. Everyone has heard the saying: money makes the world go around. It is a taboo topic and is usually not discussed with family or with friends, and if so, it is usually negatively. Now, I would like to encourage you to consider a new point of view - What if money had no significance? What if the purpose of money was to have fun and change realities? Surely it couldn't be so easy...

Money is to have fun in your realityMoney is to have fun with. Money is how people thank you for you, your services and creations. When you have money, you can buy nice things for you and your body. You can purchase wonderful furniture, clothes, jewelry, you can fly business class, you can have a nice car and home. You can do things that make your body light up with joy and things that are fun and exciting for you. Money is the exchange from people when they want to thank you for what you have done, made and been on this planet. What if you used your money to create ease and fun for you every day? How much more money would you be willing to receive if it's sole purpose was simply to have fun with?

Money is to create change in other peoples realitiesA viewpoint people often have is that they are doing people a favor when they refuse to take their money. First of all, what if you were not taking? What if you were receiving a gift from them? When you receive money from people, you then have the power to change someones reality further - yours, theirs or somebody else's. Have you ever tipped someone or been tipped? Have you ever given to a charity? What energy came up? For most people, a tip will change their reality, no matter how big or small. If you tip some $2, they will smile and remember it and think you are kind. Most people will then go and tip someone else to pay it forward. Is that the kind of world you would like to live in, where everyone is kind and generous? When people gift money, they are thanking you. When you decline money from people you are declining their gratitude and dishonoring you. Do you still feel so awful for receiving money from people?

Money is to change the planetHave you ever heard that money is the root of all evil? Does that make you feel light or heavy? Money is not evil nor greedy, it has no viewpoint. It is people who are willing to be evil or greedy. If you woke up with a billion dollars, would you suddenly become evil? Probably not. What could you change in the world with money? You could buy out companies that were wrecking havoc on the planet. You could create and actualize more possibilities to recycle plastics. You could fund projects to encourage environmental awareness. You could donate to animal shelters. You could pay for people to have more laughter, fun, easy and joy on the planet. You could do absolutely anything . Money is your tool to change the world. It is not the source of change or creation, but it will certainly make your job much easier.

How do you feel about money now? Money is only a tool to change things and create ease and fun, it really is that simple. As soon as you place significance on it, it becomes difficult to create and stressful to use. When you see it as insignificant and joyful it will be fun and easy to create with. You as an infinite being do not require money, your body does to have comfort and ease. What else is possible with money now?

If this resonates with you and you would like to start creating from the place of possibility and creation rather than contraction and conclusion, come and join us for a class. We would love to play with you and see how much we can change for your living and finances.

​Every judgment you have is a place you cannot receive. Every story you buy into is how you will create your life. Do you live in a scarcity mindset? Do you find poverty proves itself true? When you judge a point of view as real, you lock it into your body and reality. Anything that does not match the energy of that point of view cannot come into your life if you will not receive it.Here are 3 common mindsets that cut off our receiving to wealth.

What if I fail?

Do you ever find possibilities with money you would like to create? A new career pursuit? A new business idea? Something you would like to invest in? But then wait... What if you fail? All of a sudden that lightness and creativity goes down the drain. What if you did fail? Would it really be that bad? You might not enjoy the new career and choose to leave. Your business might not flourish as you'd hoped for and you could choose something else. Your investment might not work out and you may not make money from it. Then you would have a whole new awareness of what will and won't work for you. Would it really be that bad? If you always focus on the worst thing possible, you are inviting that into your reality by spending so much time on that idea. What if you asked a question rather than going into the lie of failure? You could ask something like, what will my life be like in 5 years if I chose this? Or, what information do I need before I choose this? Or, is this for now or in the future?

I'd never do _____ for money!

What would you be unwilling to do for money? One way to find out is, what do you judge others for that they do for money? Have a think about what you consider 'wrong' to receive money for. How much money could you have if you did not resist the idea of doing things for money as right or wrong? This does not mean you have to quit your job and go and do these things instead. There is a difference between being unwilling to do something and choosing to not do something. Choosing not to do something is not resisting or judging. It is saying 'no thank you' to a choice that would not create the reality you wish to have without a point of view. It is not making it wrong, it is just a choice that does not work for you. How much of yourself do you shut off to receiving with judgment and resistance? Every time you judge you shut off a world of future possibilities that were waiting to occur.

I'll be happy when I have _____ amount of money.

Money follows joy. Not the other way around. People think they will be happy when they have a certain amount of money, but that is not true. Money buys lots of beautiful things, but it does not buy happiness. What if you were just happy? What if you were grateful for your financial situation as it is, and kept asking: what else is possible? You as a being do not require money, your body does - so is it true that you will be happy when you have more money? Or is it a lie? Another thing to consider is, when you get invited to a party, do you like to feel appreciated and welcomed? Or do you enjoy when people complain you are not enough? Money does not enjoy being at the pity party. Money enjoys being around people who appreciate it, are joyful and want to spend time with it. If you start appreciating and being grateful for all the money that has showed up, even if you asked for more, even it was a bit late, it may be happier to show up more often.

Debt... For most people that one word is enough to make your stomach sink. Most people think about debt as inevitable - an essential part of everyone's financial situation. Most people also dread the thought of it. What if that were not the case? What if debt were easy to get out of, no matter how much you owe? What if it were easy to never be in again? Here are a couple of ways to help you get out of debt and still live comfortably. Right Riches For You invites you to look at a different way of looking at money and ask questions to get aware rather than concluding your situation.

The honoring account

This is where you put 10% of every dollar you receive away into a separate account. It is not to save for an upcoming bill or a special occasion. It is not to be spent at all! This is an account to honor you, before all the bills and expenses, you put money away so that you always have money.By putting money away for you first, it tells the Universe that you come first. If you make your bills the priority, it tells the Universe that bills are important so you receive more. This isn't to say bills aren't important and shouldn't be paid, but what if caring for you were also a bill? What if you were as important as your bills?Some people like to have their 10% in cash and if you travel a lot, it may be fun for you to have it in different currencies. You may also convert it to a currency that doesn't lose value such as gold, silver, real jewelry and antiques.Often, people think they cannot afford another 10% if they can't afford to live comfortably now. If you try it, the worst thing that will happen is your spend it!

Carry Cash

Carry the amount of cash you think a rich person would carry and don't spend it! This may be part of your 10% account. It may be $300, $800, $1,500. This tool is to get you used to having money. Having money and spending money are different. Spending is important, but having money is where the energy of wealth comes from. Have you ever noticed nobody got rich from only spending money? Some people worry about getting robbed or losing it, but if you had that much cash on you would it make you more aware of where your money was and what you were doing?​

Track your expenses for one month.

We recommend you know exactly how much it costs to run your life. If you are shooting blind you will hit and miss your target. If you are aware of your expenses you can take action to change them accurately. You could start now for the next 30 days or you could go through statements for last month. Either way, look at how much money goes out and then add 10% for your honoring account if you choose to use this tool, and then add another 20% to spend on anything fun you'd like to such as massage, a car, travel, it could be anything. Then divide your debt by 12-24 months depending how substantial the amount is and add this number on. This is the amount you will need to make per month to pay off your debt while living comfortably.

These tools will change your financial reality in different ways and although they work best when applied together, you don't need to try them all for one to work. Depending on your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to money, you can decided which of these tools will work best for you and which one you would like to try first.

The advice most experts give is that if you work hard for long hours then you will make a certain amount of money. What if this is not the only way to do it? What if there was a more fun and easier way to make even more money?

Asking questions opens you up to more ideas and different possibilities. When you ask a question and answer it, you have one idea and one possibility. When you leave the question open-ended and are really curious about a solution, you open up your mind allow yourself to become aware of unlimited ideas.

Here are 5 questions you can ask to open up your creativity and ideas to money flows.

1. How does it get better than this?

Ask and you shall receive is a universal law, it's even in The Bible. You may ask this question when something good or bad happens. If it is bad, it will get better, if it is good, it will get better!

Gary Douglas, the founder of Access tells a story about a woman who found a penny on the side of the street and she asked 'how does it get better than this?' Later, she found $50! She asked the question again. That evening when she was getting out of the cab, she found a shiny object on the ground, it was a diamond bracelet in the gutter. She was so taken by the whole experience that and she thought it couldn't possibly get any better. Well, it didn't. When you ask this questionand if you have no point of view about what the outcome will be, you allow yourself to open up to everything the Universe can gift to you.

2. What could I add to my life today to generate more money?

My guess is that when you read this, you thought you already have enough on your plate. What if by adding new things to your life you could have a fresh perspective on all your projects? When a project is moving slowly and you feel unmotivated, you can go put your attention on something else and come back to a clean slate. Also, I encourage you ask. are you tired or bored? Do you find when you are doing a boring project you are always tired? What if everything you added to your life was so fun you didn't get bogged down?

3. How can my abilities make me money?

Have you ever noticed that when you are good at something you give it no value. You think it is so easy, anybody can do it and therefore nobody would pay you to do it? This is not true! Every person has capacity and abilities that others may or may not have.

Make a list of all the things you love to do and are easy for you. Maybe it's gardening, making phone calls, painting your nails, reading, etc. Make a long list. Then ask, ‘what would it take to make money from these?’

4. Where can I spend my money to make money?

I'm sure you've heard the saying 'you've got to spend money to make money'.People generally hold onto money so they have it. If you are clutching every last dollar, how can you receive more? You can't! Your hand is shut! Where can you spend money today to create more money?

It may be directly, such as an investment. It may be something like buying a dress. Don't shut off to how things can make you money, you'd be surprised!

5. What would be fun to do today?

Money and work are generally serious topics. What if they could be fun? Are you more productive when you are bored? Not many people are. When people are happy and less stressed, they are more productive which generally reaps more money. In this reality we are told work is not fun and business is hard. It will not always be easy, but what if it could always be more enjoyable?

These questions have worked for thousands of people, you can figure out if these will work for you. Use what is true for you. Perhaps you thrive off creativity, fun and challenges. If so, these questions are certainly for you. Perhaps you like order and the comfort of things to keep being the way they always have been. If you do, that is fine too.Would you be willing to ask these questions and see what shows up?

How grateful are you for everything today? The bed you woke up in? What the weather is doing? The city you live in? How much money you have in your bank?Gary Douglas says: Gratitude grows gratitude in others, without gratitude you cannot receive. The greater your gratitude, the more money you can have.

Do you always focus on the things that you don't have? It is great to look at what you would like to create, but if you don't look at what you have already created, you can only receive so much. How much more money could you receive if you had gratitude for everything? Gratitude does not exclude. It is a sense of thankfulness for the abundance of life, the good, the bad and the ugly. It is being grateful for the things you asked for and the things you didn't. It is not selective. It is not being grateful for some things in life but not others. That is judgment. You cannot be in gratitude and judgment at the same time...

​The more you are willing to receive, the more you allow to contribute to you, your living and your money flows!

How do you feel when you do something for someone and they appreciate it a lot? Does it make you happy and willing to do it again next time they ask? Now, what about a person who just complains it was not done right or is not enough? Are you happy to keep doing things for them? Maybe not. Money is very much the same.

How much money would you like to have? In order to have that, you have to be grateful for your money situation where it is right now. Even if you have decided it is not enough. Often we think we will be grateful for money and happy in life when we have a certain amount of it, but is that light or heavy for you? What if you chose to be happy now, regardless of how much money you had? What if you were just grateful for all the money you have right now? Money follows joy! Not the other way around. If you cannot appreciate what you have already created, chances are you will have a hard time creating much more than what you have now.

Gratitude is inclusive of everything and everyone. If you are being gratitude, you are in total allowance. When you do not judge you open the door for more possibilities to show up. Let's use people for example. You would not refuse clients by how they dress, their age etc. You would not make yourself wrong or immoral for taking money from someone who does not have much money. You would not refuse money from family because that would be a 'handout'. These are judgments. You would be grateful for money for showing up. How many ways have you refused money? You can change that!

Next time someone offers to buy you a drink or take you out, simply smile and say thank you. See what it does in their world! See what can show up when you do not judge the situation but instead choose to be grateful. It may change your entire financial situation!

Are you getting enough sex? Are you getting enough money? Are you having enough sex? Are you having enough money?

What does sex mean to you? What does money mean to you? Perhaps you get similar energies for both.How closely do you associate money and sex? They are two sides to the same coin.

Sex is the energy of receiving everything without a point of view. It is the energy of being willing to receive all of life, all of other people and all of yourself. So, how much sex are you willing to have? A lot, a little, or none at all? What if the feeling of being turned on was what it felt like to be in a state of receiving, and that was what allowed you to create and receive the financial reality you've been asking for? Does that sound any more fun that what you are currently choosing? You can always have that if you choose it!

To make as much money as you would like to have, you have to be willing to ask and receive from everything without judgment, even when it shows up in weird ways. You have to be willing to receive from yourself, other people, businesses, events, bodies... Yes, your body!Your body is an entity that is willing to assist you in creating anything you ask for, and guess what... It LOVES sex! Would you be willing to let it be turned on and see what it could create for you?

Sex and money are two topics I get asked a lot about, and the truth is, they aren't so different. Would it be fun for you to receive more money and sex? Join me on February 14th, 2pm CST. We will spend an hour unlocking the thoughts, feelings and emotions that keep you from having all the sex and money you truly desire. Would you be willing to be vulnerable enough to open up to receiving money and sex without a point of view? That space is a creative energy where you can truly allow anything you ask for to come into your life. Would you like to function from creativity, sex and receiving rather than making, thinking, doing and taking? If this is something you would like to create, come and join me on this telecall.

I can't wait to see what we can create togetherSee you then!- Curry Glassell

​Those are strong words and for many years of my life I resisted the idea of even asking for money for anything I created or did or said. Then one day I looked at my account and woke up to the fact that if I did not change my behavior and my point of view I would not have enough money to take me forward another 30 years. That was this year.

The dip in the oil and gas industry combined with a working interest inherited from my Fathers estate took over 3 million dollars cash right out of my account in one year. The down side was that it did not produce that or even double during that year as a matter of fact it produced only 30,000.00. I was out of cash reserves and still had cash calls every month asking me if I wanted to be involved in projects that amounted to 60-100 thousand dollars up front to participate in this or that. Wowie —I had to change this, it was time to address this and other things that were creating my current financial reality.

​I had to make a choice to change or to lay down and die. I had made my entire life and energy about giving to others and never to me. I did most things for free or almost no money. I had money I thought and certainly people projected that at me all the time. I felt guilty for having what I did have and I allowed that to STOP my receiving. Now I had to choose. One of the things I had to face was my worst fear--and it’s something that may apply to other people too. My worst fear was my lack of trust in my own abilities: my ability to create, to generate and to have an entirely different financial reality. I even found myself wondering, was I actually smart enough to create all the money I desired? Well, if there was ever a time to find out, it was now. I embarked on an honest look at my desire to “get out” of what was going on for me, and just escape it all. Or my other choice, which was to stay and have the courage and vulnerability to face this, what I had created (because we do create everything in our lives!), to live, to create and get to work!What has started to show up just by choice to acknowledge where I was, where I wanted to be, and asking the questions that would open the door to new possibilities, has been astounding. The energy is completely different and it continues to change and expand every single day. What if creating an entirely different financial reality were that easy? That fast? That much of a contribution to you?Are you willing for it to be that easy?I know it can be that easy. You just have to choose it. And that can sometimes be the interesting part… ‘how do I choose that?’ is a question I get in all of the Right Riches For You classes I facilitate. What if it’s not a how? Are you willing to find out what else is possible for you in the area of money that you haven’t considered?On February 15th I am doing a call for all of the amazing facilitators in Access who with all their courage and strength do their best to change and be more every day. I am incredibly grateful for you! It Is All About The Money & It Is Not About The Money is a call that addresses exactly what I’ve had to address with regards to money…and I have a hunch that I might not be the only one going through these tough questions!If this topic resonates with you please join me and lets go through this together. Let’s let go of all our fears and gain more trust in our brilliance and our capacities to be and do and have everything with total ease.All of life can come to you with ease and joy and glory —however you might just have to choose it every day!-Curry Glassell -You can still purchase the recording!

Money – it’s a topic we all have in common. Lack of money, excess of money, hard-earned money, easy money – it’s something that affects everyone.I have seen it from so many angles. Born into money, I had it, lost it and found it again and along the way learned so much about different people’s relationships with the almighty dollar.

For the last ten years I have been teaching people through my Right Riches for You Programs how they can change viewpoints that keep them from creating wealth, and also how to be comfortable with money once they get it.

It is surprising what stops people from earning the money they want and deserve.

When we get down to the core of people’s money beliefs on a course, there’s always a story they’re not aware of. For some it’s that their parents never had enough and taught them that money was always in short supply; for some it’s their culture or religion’s view on wealth - for me it was that I had grown up with some very wealthy people who did some very unkind things so I associated wealth with meanness and saw money as the root of all my malaise.

Whatever the background story is, change comes quickly when people discover the often untrue subconscious thoughts they have about money. Once I realized that money wasn’t evil, I stopped spending it wildly and living beyond my means. I no longer tried to get rid of it as soon as I got it, as I realized wealth wasn’t something terrible. There are plenty of nice wealthy people out there and people are unkind because they’re unkind, not because they’re rich!

Some questions you can ask yourself to discover what hidden points of view you many have about money. Here are some of them:

1. How do you view money? Is it a happy or sad thing?2. Is money easy to make? Why or why not?3. What should people do when they have lots of money? Save or Spend? Why?4. What are your family’s views on money?5. What does your culture or religion say about money?6. What do your friends think about money?7. Would you like to be earning more? If so, why do you think this isn’t happening?

If you answer these types of questions honestly you can start to form a picture of your money mindset. Then you need to start genuinely questioning whether your answers are true. For example if you realize one of your recurring thoughts is “Money makes you greedy” or “you have to work long hours to make good money” or “I can only ever earn a maximum of $50,000 a year doing my job” you have to look at whether that’s actually a fact or not. More often than not, it isn’t true and if you can let those viewpoints go, everything can change in a matter of minutes”

The most challenging part of helping people to create wealth is to make them realize they can. It really does come down to mindset. Anyone can be wealthy and happy with it, but so many people don’t believe that, and that’s the only thing standing between them and all the money they could want. And I know. I’ve seen money in ways few people have, and that fact is true every time.

What if the money in your bank account does not dictate what else you can create for your financial reality?

What is the first thing that comes to mind the minute you look at your bank account? So many people immediately go into the judgements and wrongness of the cash they currently do have available instead of the gratitude for the money they have created and is currently available in their bank account.​Judgments create more judgments not money. Gratitude creates more gratitude and receiving.

What if the first step of creating your financial reality is to know where your starting point currently is and in ten seconds you can change it?

Step 1 – Have awareness of your current finances.

What if the first step to creating your new financial reality is to be willing to be honest with yourself. Be aware and know that you can change anything once you acknowledge you are the creator of your current reality. Write down everything you spend money on. Your rent, utilities, food, car expenses, clothes, etc. Then write down all the current ways you are bringing in money into your life. Your income from your job, from family, everywhere you currently add money into your life. Now be grateful for everything.

Step 2 – Awareness of your desires finances

Write down what you would like to have and add to your life. This can include your day-to-day expenses as above and anything else you would like to add like classes, trips, pamper days, anything else you would like to add to your life. Tally this up. Then add 10% of the tallied amount to the honoring of you and 10% of the tallied amount to the items you have not even considered yet.

Step 3 – Ask Questions

With your awareness of what is currently in place and what you would like to create, ask questions. Questions will start to change the energy of what may be in place and provide you awareness of what else is available. Questions also allow the universe to be a contribution to you and what you are asking about.

What have I defined me as based on the money I currently have? What are the infinite possibilities I have not even considered yet?What question do I have to be to create a different reality with total ease?What can I choose now to change all of this?What awareness do I need to have to change this?

After each of the questions above say, “Everything that is times a godzillion, I destroy and uncreate it all? Right and wrong, good and bad, POD and POC, all nines, shorts, boys and beyonds.®”

What if what you have chosen until now does not have to have an effect on what can be and create for tomorrow? ​

What if the world of your finances does not dictate the way you see money?

​What if the way you are currently looking at money IS creating the world around you with your finances?

What if adapting and conforming to have the same points of views as everyone else limits your money flows. As much as we care our family, friends, teachers, religion, and culture, we adopt their thinking automatically often without being aware of how these views will influence our choices in the future.​

For a long time I just thought that how I see things is how I see things. I didn’t know I could choose to change the way I see the world. I thought my point of view was my identity, who I was and that they were just going to be the same forever.

There are unlimited different points of views surrounding money and If you wish to make changes in the way you see things that would make you more money, you have to honestly and truthfully evaluate the money beliefs you have operating in your world in this current moment. the points of view of money you had as child may have worked in a kids world, But as an adult are the same points of view that were once so easy now working against you? ​The more willing you are to change a point of view that limits you, the more you see from a different space and that space will allow you to have more money flow into your life easier and more joyfully.

Our lives are constantly bombarded by people with judgements about money which becomes embedded on a subconscious level. I used to believe money was bad and the root of all evil and was responsible for my unhappiness and lack in my life. I found myself often referring to those who are extremely wealthy as “filthy rich,” as if having great wealth makes them dirty.

I realized one day that this wasn’t an original thought, but I had heard it from another person. Then I realized that they probably heard it from another person as well and so on. Who knows where it started.

Seeing the silliness of this made me step out of this fixed view on wealth riches. I realized that looking at the world this way would never allow me to be rich because I didn’t want to be one of these people. This way of seeing the world was keeping me from creating riches and wealth I knew was possible. So I changed my point of view and it changed my finances.

What are your points of view about money that keep you from having more?

Paying attention to the words you use is about getting clear about what you are creating in your life. The use of language is one of the major ways people create limitations for themselves in this reality.

How do you gain greater awareness of the words you speak and what it creates as your financial reality?Start being aware of what words you say when you talk about money and financial reality. Pay attention to where you align and agree with media and where you resist and react. Once you are aware of the words you use, ask yourself is this what I would like to create as my financial reality?

If you words like need, want, and but create you having less money on a daily basis. "Need" creates greed. "Want" creates lack. And "But" dismisses everything you said before it. How often do you find yourself say "I would like to have more money in my bank account, BUT I don't have time to add more to my life that would make me more money"? "But" is just one of the elements that create you current financial reality in this sentence. The fundamental conclusion here is that you need to work more to have more ... What if it is a lie that is perpetrated that you agreed and aligned with? What if you need to ask for greater possibilities of creating more financially without an assumption that it will involve more work?

This will open up a space for you to see the myths, lies, and fears making your financial decisions. You may be extremely uncomfortable! But when you stop trusting blindly what you’ve been told…you will start trusting your own awareness of what you know and don’t know. Then you have control of your money and future.

One of the fastest ways to educate yourself is by asking questions. Ask questions until you have clarity with your situation.

Many of your capacities with money have been sleeping… or hidden behind what you may have perceived as ‘bad’ decisions. What if your brilliance about money has been waiting for YOU?

As you grow up, you entrain yourself to your environment – you mold to its beliefs and structures. Beliefs about money come from everywhere - parents, friends, school, newspapers, TV, internet, etc. As an adult, you carry everything you have learned with you. But you don’t question most beliefs, they simply become WHO YOU ARE and you keep living and making decisions based on them. This has created your current financial reality.

When presented with a belief you have two choices: you either align & agree OR resist & react. Either way, you become stuck. How? Whatever you decide is true becomes YOU – your identity. And so you think, act and react as if you were the belief; it becomes the wallpaper of your mind.

What if the foundation for your financial reality is as easy to change as…changing your points of view?

Let’s look at this from an energetic perspective. When you align and agree OR resist and react to a point of view/belief, you create a polarity. Meaning, there is a polarity to the belief, based on your assumption of an opposite belief existing…you don’t want to believe.

Whatever belief you choose, that belief attracts information it matches. This takes you out of choice! Because you just keep attracting and piling on more information of the same colour and flavour.

Ask yourself: What do I know about money?What do I not know about money?

When you ask these questions, what will show up are your points of view about money and finances. Keep asking these questions for NEW INFORMATION that will open up a door for you to recognize more possibilities and places to explore – beyond what you have concluded you already know and don’t know.

It was an incredible gift. Recently, I have been asked a lot why I would invest in a creation of a movie. Here are 4 reasons:

It was a moving compelling story that had never been told in a film.

The story is about a woman who is a democrat, and the first elected female to EVER be Gov. of Texas in its history….a story about a little girl from a poor town in Texas who through sheer hard work and grit became one of the most potent political figures of the 20th century.

Ann Richards influenced the queen of England to take an interest in Texas and American politics.

My hope was that this story would be told and used as inspiration in every elementary school in the United States and around the world.

Curry Glassell was the executive producer of Illegal Movie.​Through a series of interviews with undocumented kids, activists, policymakers, non-profit leaders, educators and members of the clergy Illegal seeks to raise the consciousness level of the American public regarding the importance of full immigration reform beginning with the Dream Act.

Though an important step was taken with the president's order to halt the deportations of some young undocumented residents, we must remember that his executive order could change as early as January under a new administration. What is necessary is a law that provides a path to citizenship for these young people. Our work is far from over.
